“Its hard to rate this place due to me not wanting it to get too popular. The food is top notch, the old town tea will have you grabbing a to-go pouch and coming back for more. They have amazing beer! The service is attentive and always ready to chat and blow your mind on facts. They are a full service distillery and make some amazing spirits. Love the owners and the entire place is awesome. ( they have a sitting view of the distillery). Its in a great area that is right off the freeway and off the beaten path. If you don't love it something might be wrong with you.“

The Craftroom Brewery • $
2809 Broadbent Pkwy NE, Albuquerque - 8.48 miles

“Legendary. Unforgettable. Pure Albuquerque Soul. The Craftroom Brewery isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s a sanctuary of flavor, community, and craft. The Staff? Absolute legends: warm, genuine, and always ready with a recommendation that hits the spot. The food? Outrageously good. From green chile-fired pizzas to sandwiches that make you rethink lunch forever, every bite is a masterpiece. But the real crown jewel? The cider. Bold, creative, and unapologetically New Mexican. Whether you're sipping on their signature OG Apple or diving into a rotating seasonal blend, every pour feels like a toast to local flavor and fearless innovation. This is where Albuquerque gathers, laughs, watches the match, and drinks in the good life. The Craftroom isn't just a brewery — it’s a legend in the making. 🍻 Come for the Games. Stay for the Cider. Return as a Legend. The Craftroom "Local Flavor. Legendary Vibes."“

The staff is always incredible—warm, attentive, and so easy to work with— they make the entire event feel effortless for us. The beer, atmosphere, and service are consistently top-notch, but it’s people like Megan and Hunter who make it feel so special for everyone. They always take amazing care of us and our clients, and I’m truly grateful for the experience they create every single year.“

“Have no idea why this restaurant's on Opentable... when my party and I arrived, they had no record of it. Apparently they had a 22-top and two 10-Tops booked, but that's no excuse. They need to update their availabilty on this app! To be served, we had to sit at two separate tables. Food wasn't the greatest this time either. I'm not sure if we just went on an off night, or if this is how things are run there from now on. Either way, I won't be back anytime soon. “

“TOP 10 BEST BREWERIES IN ALBUQUERQUE: #9: TRACTOR

My name is Matt, Albuquerque’s Brew Reviewer. I’ve tried over 200 local beers, and visited over 40 unique breweries in Albuquerque.

You haven’t tried Albuquerque cider unless you’ve gone to Tractor! Offering delicious, sweet, refreshing cider, canned or on draft, and a fun, large selection of beer, with a spacious, decorated, inviting atmosphere, Tractor is serious about brewing. Kind staff, some fun and unique beer flavors, and a great interior. They love to go all out for Halloween. It’s one of those breweries that’s great to go to with friends, because there’s spacious, comfortable booths. The only thing which holds Tractor back is the lack of food, but for a place to get drinks, especially with company, this is a premiere spot in the city to go, which is why it’s the ninth best brewery in Albuquerque.

Bosque Brewing North Brewery • $$
834 US-550, Bernalillo - 8.52 miles

“Bosque Brewery offers a solid experience, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The hummus platter was a highlight—tasty and well-portioned—while the beer selection was well-executed across the board. However, the atmosphere fell a bit flat. The staff wasn’t rude, but they also weren’t particularly engaging, which made the experience feel a little impersonal.

The building itself looks great from the outside, but inside, there were noticeable signs of lack of attention to upkeep. Given that Bosque has been around for a while and has multiple locations, I expected a bit more polish. Overall, it was a decent visit, but it didn’t quite leave the lasting impression I had hoped for.“

“I don’t write a lot of reviews but I felt like my service and food on Thursday deserved a shout out. Firstly, Nicole our server was phenomenal. She was attentive, fun and sweet. Service lately has been lacking and Nicole reminded me that good service still exists. Second, the food was sooo good. I came here when they first opened and I must say the food has improved greatly! I know new restaurants need time to get into the grove of things and let me say they have it together. Our food was hot. It came out quickly and looked amazing. It also tasted amazing. We ordered the fried pickles, which were addicting. We also ordered the fish and chips. The fish was nicely battered and delicious. My husband ordered the burger. It was so good. The fries were hot and delicious . We will definitely be back!“

Floating on Basil made its return from last year’s summer menu- basil infused vodka, lemon juice, pineapple juice, soda water, and house made strawberry simple syrup 😍 The drinks are incredible, the bartenders are fantastic, and The Kitchen at Left Turn makes the most delicious fresh chicken nuggets I’ve ever had- make sure you get the housemade green chile dip to go with them!!“
